Application October 19, 1929, Serial No. 4il0,980 Renewed March 23, 19352 Claims. (c1.2 1 1a) My invention relates: to vaporizing apparatus andthe same has. for its'object to pro- 5 tories and the like for purifyingair, water, etc.

Another object of my invention is the provision of apparatus of thecharacter specified which includes means for alleviating or reducingnoxious odors.

In the accompanying drawings:

Figure l is a perspective of one form of apparatus constructed accordingto and embodying my said invention; and

Fig. 2 is a side elevation thereof with the casing 1 in section.

Referring to the drawings, cludes a recessed or hollow base I ledges itat opposite sides on which rests a removable top portion or'closure i0.

An electric motor 58 is provided and is secured within casing it). Themotor 58 has a shaft 82 with a fan 84 at one end thereof and a worm 68at the other end thereof.

A receptacle 88 having a pivoted cover or 25 closure is carried by asuitable bracket 12 secured tothe casing it below the worm 08. Thebracket 12 also carries a standard 14 in which a gear 16, meshingwithworm BB. is journaled. The gear, IO-has a pin 18 thereon adapted-toinao termittently engage the trip 80 on cover 10 to open the same. 1

The receptacle is for the purpose of receiving suitable aromaticsubstance for alleviating or reducing noxious odors and excessivenoxious B5 odors, and the quantity of such substances permitted toescape from receptacle 08 may be varied, as desired. The aromaticsubstances may comprise, for example, oils or solids having an odor ofnew mown hay, pine needles, Wintergreen, i0 honey suckle, and the like.

The number of actuations of the cover HI per minute to release or permitof the escape of the aromatic substance may be dependent on the rate ofrotation of the fan M or otherwise con- .5 trolled. Regulation of therate of opening of the over may also be accomplished by changing theratio of the gears 88, it or by changing the position of the pin 18.

.The adjustments are readily made at will so 0 that the resultingmixture produces the desired pleasing eii'ect on the olfactory organ ofthe per,- son making the adjustment.

the casing ill inportion l2 having By the foregoing arrangement ormethod the disagreeable or obnoxious odors re alleviated withoutexcessiveness in the quanti 'y of aromatic substance employed.

The admixture of the aromatic substance with 6 the air is effected inthe partially confined space within the casing is to insure permeationof one with the other before the mixture is swept by the air currentgenerated by the fan from the casing.

The fan 64 maintains a vertically moving cu'r- 10 rent of air throughand confined by the casing ill. The air enters the casing at the basethereof through suitable opening or openings 80 in the base member I!and passes out together with the aromatic vapors through an opening oropenings 92 in the upper portion of the casing portion is. The directionof discharge through opening 82 is controlled by shutters 94 which maybe actuated by member 88 to direct the air current up or down orhorizontally.

The apparatus may be placed in living rooms. ofllces or other places forthe purpose of destroy ing foul odors or employed for purifying air,water, etc.

The rate of air flow through the casing and aromatic supply may beregulated to produce an effect which is the most pleasing and beneficialto the person making the adjustment.

The several housings or enclosures for the apparatus may be artisticallydesigned to be suitable for use in living rooms, etc., and the same maybe provided with suitable auxiliary devices suchas ash trays, calendars,clocks. measuring rules, cigar lighters, etc.

I claim: 1. In apparatus of the character described, a receptacle forreceiving a substance capable of alleviating noxious odors, a closurefor said receptacle, a motor driven fan for causing circulation of air,and means operated by the fan motor for intermittently actuating saidclosure.

2. In apparatus of the character described, an apertured casing, a fantherein, a motor therein for rotating the fan, a normally closedreceptacle therein for receiving a substance for alle- 45 vi atingnoxious odors, and means operated by the motor for intermittentlyopening said receptacle.
